“The Velveteen Rabbit” is Rabbit Ears’ first classic story that is based
off of Margery Williams’ popular tale and it is about how a toy rabbit
learns the true meaning of being real. With Meryl Streep’s tender
narration, George Winston’s soft music and David Jorgensen’s beautiful
illustrations, “The Velveteen Rabbit” is an instant classic that
children will watch over and over again.

What made this video
truly memorable was Meryl Streep’s tender and soothing narration. Meryl
Streep gives the story a very subtle mood by narrating in a graceful and
soft-spoken tone that many children will be mesmerized by her
narration. Meryl Streep has also done a brilliant job at expressing the
various emotions that each of the characters experience throughout the
story. The scene where I think that Meryl Streep’s narration stood out
the most was the scene where the real rabbits tell the Velveteen Rabbit
that he is not real and the Velveteen Rabbit begins to cry and Meryl
Streep actually sounds like she is about to cry in this scene which
truly brought out the realism of the situation in this scene. George
Winston’s piano solo music is extremely beautiful and engaging, as his
music is both happy and sorrowful, depending on the scene. The scene
where I think that George Winston’s musical abilities truly shine was
the scene where one of the real rabbits was dancing in front of the
Velveteen Rabbit and George Winston plays the piano in such a dramatic
and fast paced tone that I found myself loving every second of that
scene. The video’s true highlight is David Jorgensen’s illustrations as
they are extremely beautiful and captivating. David Jorgensen makes all
the characters look extremely realistic, which gives the story a sense
of realism and the images that stood out the most to me were the images
of the real rabbits, as they look realistic and beautiful.

“The
Velveteen Rabbit” is a beautiful story about knowing the importance of
true love and children will easily relate to this story as they will
feel sympathy for the Velveteen Rabbit trying to find the true meaning
of being real. I would recommend this book to children ages five and up
since small children might be upset at the fact that the Velveteen
Rabbit feels upset when he realizes he is not like the other real
rabbits.
